Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses related to detecting and reporting failures for a memory device are described. When a count of bit-flip errors is above a fail threshold, a memory device can report a failure. Failure reports can indicate a rate at which the memory device is accumulating errors. An offset fail threshold may be applied instead of a default fail threshold, such as a standardized or specified threshold. The offset fail threshold can be a summation of the default fail threshold and an offset determined from an initial error count determined before the memory device has accumulated errors from use.
